When the country house Makek welcomed their first guests in 1907, they arrived mainly from Germany, Prague, Bern, Ljubljana, Split and Belgrade. The impressions of their summer vacation, who testifiy those peoples feelings, can still be traced back in our old guest book from the 20th century. Penzion Makek was one of the leading tourist locations in this valley, until the end of WWII and from the 80th onwards, we started offering our services as a tourist farm.
Jezersko got its name after a big lake that used to cover this whole oval valley and eventually flow away. Today its only remaining memory it is a small lake called Planšarsko jezero. But Jezersko was not only known for its great lake, but also because of the road, which was meant for the transportation of goods by pack-horses and used to pass by. The museum called Jenkova kasarna proves its existence. The originator of tourism in this valley was called Johanes Frischlaufa. He was the first one to try to conquer all these mountains around Jezersko. He was followed by more and more summer visitors, who were mostly from Germany. They started to build mountain tracks and placed sign posts in German language along the path. In the beginning of the 20th century the beauty of Jezersko was then discovered by the Czechs, the first of them were Dr. Chodonsky and Dr. Prahensky. In 1905 the Czechs built hut in Slovene style, but it was furnished with Czech interior. And so the tourism started in this wonderful small village in the corner of our country.
